Literary birthday greetings: Craig Biggio

December 14, 2010

Craig Biggio, the last player to join the 3,000-hit club, turns 45 today.

The book on him: Biggio: The Final Game.

Honorary mention: Scott Hatteberg. Who’s he, you ask? Basically, Hatteberg — who walked 562 and struck out just 503 times and had a .361 OBP over his 14-year career — was one of the main players considered in Michael Lewis’ classic, Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game.
